      UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum · 62f38455
      Joel Reardon 提交于
      This patch modifies ubi_wl_flush to force the erasure of
      particular volume id / logical eraseblock number pairs. Previous functionality
      is preserved when passing UBI_ALL for both values. The locations where ubi_wl_flush
      were called are appropriately changed: ubi_leb_erase only flushes for the
      erased LEB, and ubi_create_volume forces only flushing for its volume id.
      External code can call this new feature via the new function ubi_flush() added
      to kapi.c, which simply passes through to ubi_wl_flush().
      
      This was tested by disabling the call to do_work in ubi thread, which results
      in the work queue remaining unless explicitly called to remove. UBIFS was
      changed to call ubifs_leb_change 50 times for four different LEBs. Then the
      new function was called to clear the queue: passing wrong volume ids / lnum,
      correct ones, and finally UBI_ALL for both to ensure it was finally all
      cleard. The work queue was dumped each time and the selective removal
      of the particular LEB numbers was observed. Extra checks were enabled and
      ubifs's integck was also run. Finally, the drive was repeatedly filled and
      emptied to ensure that the queue was cleared normally.
      
      Artem: amended the patch.

      UBI: introduce UBI_ALL constant · 05a3cb7d
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Joel will use it in his 'ubi_flush()' extention to specify all eraseblocks.
      Also amend the comment for UBI_UNKNOWN - it is used beyond attaching info
      structure now.

      md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices. · c6563a8c
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
      changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
      (if there is enough room).
      
      So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
      through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.
      
      (As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
       we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
       A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
       zero to avoid a repeat of this)
      
      The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
      This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
      This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
      set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.
      
      This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
      it is never used and never will be.  At the same time we add a new
      arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
      soon.
      
      When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
      and rdev->sectors.  So provide an exported function to do that.

      md: allow a reshape operation to be reversed. · 2c810cdd
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start
      of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being
      reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction.
      
      To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices
      you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers
      reversed and it will undo.
      
      However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices
      it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to
      wait until it completes.
      
      So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or
      'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero.
      
      This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to
      change in a reshape.  Then the explicit statement of what direction is
      being used will be more useful.
      
      This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports
      reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it.

      UBI: amend commentaries WRT dtype · 44156267
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Richard removed the "dtype" hint, but few commentaries were left and this patch
      removes them. I've also added a better description about the "dtype" field in
      the ubi-user.h for people who may ever wonder what was that dtype thing about.
      
      This patch also adds an important note that it is better to use value "3" for
      the "dtype" field.
